The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Here, $l = 50\, cm = 0.5 \,m$, $M = 10^6\, A\, m^{-1}$ As $M = \frac{magnetisation \,current \left(I_{M}\right)}{l\left( length\right)}$ Then, $I_{M }= M \times l = 10^{6} \times 0.5 = 5 \times 10^{5} \,A$.

Magnetism & Matter

Magnets are used in many devices like electric bells, telephones, radio, loudspeakers, motors, fans, screwdrivers, lifting heavy iron loads, super-fast trains, especially in foreign countries, refrigerators, etc.

Magnetite is the world’s first magnet. This is also called a natural magnet.  Though magnets occur naturally, we can also impart magnetic properties to a substance. It would be an artificial magnet in that case.

Some of the properties of the magnetic field lines are:

  • The lines and continuous and outside the magnet, the field lines originate from the North pole and terminate at the South pole
  • They form closed loops traversing inside the magnet. 
  • But here the lines seem to originate from the South pole and terminate at the North pole to form closed loops.
  • More number of close lines indicate a stronger magnetic field
  • The lines do not intersect each other
  • The tangent drawn at the field line gives the direction of the field at that point.
